Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not so in case of an appeal. The right to appeal is an absolute right granted to the defeated party by the acts of Congress. No court or judge has any jurisdiction or power to condition the allowance of an appeal upon his consideration or determination of the question whether or not the applicant presents alleged errors which form reasonable grounds for the review of the decision below. That question is reserved for the consideration of the appellate court exclusively. The petitioner has the same right to the allowance of his appeal, in the absence of error, or of the appearance of it, as when he presents the most conclusive reasons for the belief that the decision against him was erroneous. * * * The result is that the assignment of error is not required to be filed before an allowance of appeal, for the benefit or information of the court to whom the application for the allowance is made.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Bernard v. Lea · In re Graves““The appellant shall file with the clerk of the court below an assignment of errors, which shall set out separately and particularly each error asserted and intended to he urged. No appeal shall he heard until such assignment of errors shall have been filed. * * * Such assignment of errors shall form part of the transcript of the record and be printed with it. When this is not done counsel will not he heard, except at the request of the court; and errors not assigned according to this rule will be disregarded, hut the court, at its option, may notice a plain error not assigned."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Tie acts of Congress did not require tlie filing of an assignment of errors before the allowance of a writ of error or an appeal. This requirement rests upon Rule IX of this court, which is the same, in terms and in effect, as Rule 34 (35) of the Supreme Court of the United States.””
